Gene; I'm so glad that you will soon be at Heartwood for good. I feel the 
same way, even though I'm still whittling away at the mortgage (my payment 
is still cheaper than the average rent in the city). Not everyone thinks the 
way we do, though. Some see our life as 'deprivation' if we don't have lots 
of money and 'stuff' and someone to do the physical work for us. This life 
is not for everyone.
